I hope this poor good boy returns to his rightful owner; it's the saddest-looking pup I've ever seen, worse than some of the animals you see in Sarah McLachlan's "Animal Cruelty Videos."

As I watched two performances here on Saturday, works as familiar as George Balanchine’s “Concerto Barocco” and “Symphony in C” suddenly revealed fresh details. The dancers looked happy, despite the afternoon heat, as if performing for friends. A high quotient of young people in the audience cheered and clapped at every opportunity.
